UFC Fight Night 70 Salaries

Lyoto Machida may have suffered a disappointing KO loss to Yoel Romero on Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 70, but the former light-heavyweight champion still emerged from the Florida show with the night’s biggest pay cheque, taking home $200,000.

Next up on the earnings list was the aforementioned Yoel Romero who banked $66,000, as did co-main event winner Lorenz Larkin.

With the original line-up for the show being decimated due to travel Visa issues there weren’t many notable stars featuring on the rest of the card and that’s reflected in the relatively low salaries, with the next best being Antonio Carlos Junior who trousered $34,000 for his main card victory.

Check out all the UFC Fight Night 70 salaries below and as always bare in mind this is just their basic earnings and doesn’t include extras like bonuses and sponsorship money.

Over the years I've watched the UFC develop into the powerhouse it is today, organizations like PRIDE, Strikeforce and WEC rise and fall, and Bellator emerge as a new force on the MMA landscape. Throughout it all I've remained captivated by the sport and I'm excited to cover what comes next here on MMA Insight.
